 12-inch dinner plateA special set of hand-crafted porcelain plates featuring a design by acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist John Baldessari for the "Buon Ricordo America" collection is available exclusively at Locanda del Lago in Santa Monica.  These Collector Plates are adorned with a distinctive image of a woman and a fish to symbolize Lago's cuisine from Italy's Lake Region.  One is a 12-inch dinner plate, and the other is a 10-inch bowl. 

The "Buon Ricordo America" Collector Plates are featured at top Italian restaurants around the country.  Each has a different image created for "Buon Ricordo America" by artists of international renown, including Milton Glaser, Christo, and Aldo Luongo, among many others.  The shapes of the plates exactly reproduce those made in 1575 by Florence's Grand Duke Francesco I de Medici, which are found today in museums throughout the world.  

A portion of the proceeds from the original sale of each plate to Lago were donated to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, which supports a network of humanitarian organizations that assist children in need worldwide.   

"Buon Ricordo America" is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 and comprised of prestigious Italian restaurants dedicated to preserving and promoting the values of Italian regional cuisine.   10-inch bowl
